Ocean temperatures reached another record high in 2025. The world’s oceans are rising at an accelerating pace. Warming seawater is the biggest factor, while melting glaciers and polar ice sheets are increasingly pouring more water into the oceans each year. As global temperatures increase, oceans expand from the heat while melting glaciers and ice sheets add even more water. This process is extremely difficult to stop and will continue far into the future.
